-------------------------------
Summary: [InAppBrowser] Circular loop if app had an intent-filter
defined for the URL being opened
Key: CB-10795
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-10795
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Plugin InAppBrowser
Reporter: Dan Polivy
Consider the following scenario:
1. App "X" has an intent-filter defined that says it can open URLs for
"www.example.com". (e.g., using
https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/Custom-URL-scheme plugin)
2. App "X" wants to launch a specific URL on www.example.com in the system
browser.
3. App "X" uses InAppBrowser plugin and calls {{window.open}} with {{_system}}
as the target.
Actual:
Since the app itself has an intent-filter defined for "www.example.com",
InAppBrowser will just re-launch the app with the intent. In some cases, if a
default handler is not chosen, one will get a chooser, however the app will
still be listed as the default option.
Expected:
The app should be able to launch the URL in the system browser to avoid a
circular redirect.
There is some discussion of this issue on stackoverflow:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18682833/how-to-exclude-a-specific-application-from-action-view-intent
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29529027/open-url-in-browser-even-though-my-app-registered-an-intent-filter-for-it
I think it might be reasonable for InAppBrowser, in {{openExternal}}, to
explicitly remove the current app from the list.
